Integrated Polytechnic Regional College Kigali (IPRC-Kigali) Department Of Civil Engineering
The department of civil engineering started in 2008 with the establishment of IPRC Kigali as a Higher Learning Institution in line with Rwanda TVET Qualification Framework. The core objective for this department is to provide technical and vocational training at all levels in order to empower students and enhance their opportunities for career advancement and respond to the needs of the labor market.
In in Civil Engineering, the students acquire knowledge and technical skills needed to implement civil engineering projects. They got insight on what civil engineering technician needs to know in order to design, construct and manage relevant projects in building construction, water system, road construction and land surveying.
Our students develop skills in computer applications, field, workshop and laboratory testing and project management, consequently they are well equipped with knowledge and hands-on-skills that are in high demand on the job market.
